Menβs Health Week is a great time to learn more about cancers that only affect men π
Some cancers specifically affect men, including prostate, testicular and pe**le cancer. These cancers develop in parts of the male reproductive system and can affect people at different stages of life π¨ββοΈ
For example:
β’ Prostate cancer starts in the prostate gland and is the most common cancer in men in the UK
β’ Testicular cancer often affects younger men and may present as a lump or swelling
β’ Pe**le cancer is rare but can develop on or under the fo****in
Treatments can vary depending on the type and stage of cancer, but may include surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, with support available throughout π
Itβs important to know your body and speak to a healthcare professional if something doesnβt feel right. Early detection can make a big difference π
This message is inclusive of trans women and non-binary people (assigned male at birth), who can also be affected by these cancers and should feel supported to seek advice π
